LOL 1500 pounds a year? Are you kidding me, that’s a STEAL. Just for the privilege of having insurance, I pay $1040 a year. If I actually USE the insurance that I’m paying for, it goes up, because I have to pay the first $2500 of expenses out of pocket. Prescriptions don’t count towards the deductible, and even once the deductible is hit and office visits are covered by the insurance, the prescriptions are still out of pocket. And dental procedures are covered under and entirely different system, so when I had my wisdom teeth out last year and that cost $1500 on its own, out of pocket, it didn’t count anything towards my medical deductible. You may not think NHS is perfect, but it sure isn’t a “millstone around the neck of taxpayers”. If the health care lobby in this country wasn’t so great at whipping up Americans into fear of the Terrible Dangerous European Socialism, we might someday evolve here. But I’m not holding my breath.

Isn’t Cloud Atlas the movie where the same like five actors play a whole bunch of parts? Like women play men, men play women, and they all portray different races too? Like, I’m pretty sure Halle berry played a white man or something. I don’t remember the movie very well, but if that’s the premise, I don’t know that it really should have been included on this list.

People go bankrupt here for medical bills all the time. I work in a bank and we have people all the time who are coming in and wondering about getting a mortgage, but their last home was foreclosed on a few years ago because of medical bills. When that happens we can’t even help them for five years after the fact. It is legitimately awful, and the lawmakers who don’t think so don’t have to sit down and hear these people’s stories, they just get to sit in their offices with their awesome govt health care packages and spend all the money that the health care lobby gives them to keep the status quo the same.
